Beyond Just Tutoring
Our Mission
Learning Support Services aims to empower students to achieve academic success by connecting them with trained tutors and SI coaches who model expert academic behaviors.
Through Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction, students will:
- Build confidence in challenging courses
- Develop effective learning and study strategies
- Practice explaining and applying what you are learning
- Prepare for assignments, exams, and future courses
- Become a more capable and autonomous learner
Our Tutoring Philosophy
We believe students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and by connecting with professionally trained tutors as peers.
During a session, your tutor will:
- Collaborate with you, not work for you
- Ask purposeful questions about your goals and thinking process
- Guide you as you make connections between ideas and concepts
- Encourage curiosity, reflection, and productive struggle
- Encourage you to continue learning after the session ends
Tutoring is more than just casual help. It is professional, intentional support designed to strengthen your understanding, build your confidence, and move you toward greater academic independence.
